Good news: at Portal Schools, they have redefined education to meet the needs of students in an evolving world. Portal’s first campus will open in Silicon Beach in August 2021, embedded on the campus of Belkin International, a leading global tech company.

A Portal education has many advantages including:
???? Strong Community

???? Student Voice and Choice
Pass the mic! Students mold and shape what Portal is and what Portal will become. They not only want to have an impact on you, but they want you to have an impact on us. From weighing in on course offerings, elective design and extracurricular options, their students will be innovators whose ideas and voices help define the Portal Schools experience.
???? High School and College, at the Same Time
Say what?! Students will earn a high school diploma and college degree simultaneously, as well as selecting electives and experiences that align most with their post-graduation plans.
???? Career Immersed Learning
At Portal, they believe students should not just learn about the real world, but experience it first hand. That is why they provide relevant, meaningful internship opportunities and on-site mentorship so that students gain critical work experience, guiding them toward a career path that inspires and excites.
???? Diverse by Design
Today’s world is growing more diverse and they want their students to be prepared to lead in a global society. They are committed to creating an inclusive culture at Portal campuses with each class being socioeconomically, racially, and ethnically diverse to allow for a wide range of viewpoints and cultural experiences to broaden student learning. They believe that diverse backgrounds and opinions strengthen learning, challenge opinions and expand perspectives. They are excited to hear yours!
???? Flexible Schedule
With three days of scheduled learning and two flex days, their hybrid schedule offers both in-person and remote learning which provides flexibility in when, where and how students learn.
???? Competitive Advantage in a Changing World
